In the distant
future, a small group of human exiles have been doomed to fight
for survival on the edge of the galaxy. Through military
strength, espionage, and deceit, a unified Terran government has
maintained an uneasy peace, but as resources and fuel run short
the Confederate nations find themselves looking towards the rich
worlds of their alien neighbors, the enigmatic Protoss. To
further complicate matters, it seems that a previously unknown
species-- the Zerg-- have entered Protoss space and are
destroying everything in their path. The time for war has come.
